Description

An old litre bottle of Glenfiddich Special Old Reserve Pure Malt, this expression was a pre-eminent popular entry-level single malt on the market throughout the 1980s and 1990s, before being replaced by the Glenfiddich 12-year-old after the turn of the millennium. It is a benchmark for the lighter style of Speyside single malt whisky, often bottled at 43% ABV and likely intended for export or travel retail markets. Distilled, matured, and bottled by William Grant & Sons, it showcases a harmonious blend of bright, fruity sensations with subtle oak influences, matured in American and European oak sherry and bourbon casks. This iconic bottling is presented in Glenfiddich's distinctive triangular green bottle and often comes with a presentation tube.
